Legendary Orange County, CA metal band Leatherwolf have announced their first European dates since reuniting with original lead vocalist/guitarist Michael Olivieri and guitarist Carey Howe earlier in the year. The reconvened Triple Axe Attack will be headlining Germany's Keep It True Festival and are playing an additional half dozen select dates in Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy.

"We are very much looking forward to playing Europe again after doing the Bang Your Head!! Festival last summer and we would like to thank all the promoters who are putting their faith in us on rather short notice", states guitarist Geoff Gayer. " We're just coming off our first show with Mike and Carey back and it was amazing how natural it felt to play together again so we'll definitely be ready to kick some serious ass for all our European friends. The setlist will include a good cross section of songs from all the Leatherwolf albums, everything from 'Spiter' and 'Kill And Kill Again' to 'Gypsies and Thieves,' 'Wicked Ways,' 'Behind the Gun' and 'The Grail,' so everybody, old school and new school, should be going away happy. Can't wait!"

Nov. 01 - Underworld Club, Athens, Greece
Nov. 02 - Cult Club, Thessaloniki, Greece
Nov. 03 - Keep It True IX Festival, Dittigheim, Germany
Nov. 04 - Dynamo Club, Eindhoven, Holland
